"Sharon, you had it tough this period of time. Come, eat up." It was rare for Penelope to take the initiative to talk to Sharon kindly."Thanks, Penelope." Sharon was being polite but she was not used to the sudden change in Penelope's attitude.Then, Penelope looked at Simon and said slowly, "Simon, have you moved your things back home? Actually, you don't have to go to all the trouble. I’ve never touched all your clothes that were left behind here. Besides, I even asked them to send over new clothes.”"Yeah, I haven’t moved my things," said Simon faintly.Sharon looked at them, puzzled. Her gaze finally landed on Simon. "What things are you guys moving?”"Simon is going to move back to the Zachary household. Didn't he tell you about it? I thought you guys had already discussed it." Penelope looked at Sharon, feeling rather surprised.Sharon was surprised as well. "You're moving back to the Zachary household? Why?""This is his home. Isn't it normal for him to move back here? D
Sharon felt her heart sinking when Simon stared at her so deeply. She then heard Simon saying, “Since you're not willing to believe that I can find a way to treat Sebastian, then I have no choice but to go along with your idea. As long as you're able to accept that child when the time comes.""Simon…""Let's go back. It's getting pretty late." He was not willing to listen to Sharon anymore and passed by her, heading straight into the house.Sharon stood still on the same spot. She turned around to look at Simon's towering silhouette and realized that she had made a terrible mistake.Simon had the chauffeur send Sharon and Sebastian back home. From tonight onward, he would be staying in the Zachary household."Daddy, Mommy, are you guys fighting? Why are you two staying in separate houses now?" Sebastian asked them both when they were in front of the car.Sharon did speak. She was thinking about how she should answer her son.Simon's expression was calm. "We're not fighting, and
Howard kept staring at the man who was in a wheelchair. 'He… He's my uncle?'No! Impossible!'He was sure that his uncle had died in the explosion. It was impossible that he had survived!Besides, this man's appearance was different from his uncle’s, apart from that exceedingly sharp gaze..."Aunt, stop trying to deceive me. Yes, I’ve been in prison for a very long time, but I'm not a complete fool. He's not my uncle!" Howard said."Indeed, I'm not your uncle. Your uncle's dead. You and him no longer have any relations,” said Simon.Ever since that explosion, he had made the decision not to acknowledge Howard as his nephew anymore.Once again, Howard glanced at him with a critical gaze. Suddenly, he developed a sense of fear toward this person."Whether you believe it or not, you’re still a heartless scumbag who even dared to lay a finger on your uncle. We, the Zachary family, will not have such a person like you," Penelope said with an expressionless face.Howard laughed disd
...Sharon received a notification from the hospital saying that Simon would be undergoing in-vitro fertilization.She quickly rushed to the hospital and stopped him before he underwent the selection phase."Simon, are you really going to do it? Have you thought it through?" Sharon looked at him seriously.Simon's mild eyes turned to look at her, and his tone was faint as he said, "I’ll keep my promise to you.”"But I’ve already said that you can choose not to do it if you're not willing to." She did not wish to have him accuse her of forcing him to do it in the future.Simon stared hard at her and said, "I don’t want you to use yourself as an excuse to force me to do all these things." 'I might as well do it this one time and settle everything. Why should I drag this matter on?'Sharon felt a pinch in her heart. 'It looks like he's completely disappointed in me. Or else, he wouldn't say such a thing.'She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I know no matter what I say, you'll not
Simon raised his brows in disbelief. "Even if that's the case, that kid will still be your younger brother or sister.""Brother or sister of the same father but different mother?" Sebastian glanced at his mother who was beside him and snorted. "Only if my mother accepts it."Sharon frowned. 'Why do I have a feeling that Simon and Sebastian are trying to force it on me?'"Sebastian, your daddy is doing all this just to save you. You shouldn't be so impolite." Penelope really wished for Simon to have another child."I'm not sick at all, so why do I need saving?" Sebastian could not tolerate it anymore and wanted to just ignore Penelope.After some time, the doctor finally came out."Hurry up and say whether I'm sick or not!" Sebastian was the first to speak up.The doctor was holding onto Sebastian’s report from the check-up earlier. Judging from his gaze, it seemed as though he was evading them and dared not look straight into their eyes."This… This is rather weird. Based on th
Sharon found it rather hilarious. 'This man is so full of himself!'"Of course, I… don't wish for you to do it." Who would want their own man to have a baby with another woman despite not sharing an intimate relationship?She was wondering whether that was the answer he desired, but Simon did not say anything and just pushed his wheelchair to leave the place.Sharon caught up to him. "Are you willing to go back home with me now?"Simon did not answer and just smirked faintly.…"Riley, why are you out of the hospital already? The doctors said you’re not supposed to be moving around in this condition. You have to rest in the hospital for some time first." Sharon immediately rushed to Riley's house when she got to know that the latter had secretly been discharged from the hospital.Riley sat at the head of the bed, and her face was still pale. The miscarriage this time had taken a huge toll on her body."I can't tolerate the antiseptic smell in the hospital. I can recuperate at h
"Your home is also my home. Why can't I duplicate a set of keys for myself?" Jim put on a matter-of-fact expression."You’re too shameless. My home is not your home! Don’t ever try thinking of taking advantage of me!" Riley snorted coldly."We're going to get married soon. Why bother differentiating whose house belongs to who?" Riley frowned. "Do you not understand my words? Who's going to marry you? You’d better get out of my house right now!" She wanted to change the padlock immediately.Jim did not leave. Instead, he came to the front of her bed. "Riley, I know it was my fault this time. I was the one who caused you to suffer. I’ve been deeply regretting it for the past few days. I swear I'll not let you suffer anymore, and I'll give you a complete family as well." 'Isn't this what she wants?'Riley was stunned, and seeing his passionate look, those who were unaware of the situation would think that Jim had deep feelings for Riley.She smiled disdainfully. "Family? What famil
Sharon placed the bowl of chicken noodle soup in front of him. "Drink some soup to replenish the nutrients in your body before working again. Your body hasn't recovered but you're already starting to torture yourself?"Only when he heard her voice that Simon lifted his head to look at her. He frowned slightly. "What are you doing here?""I'm here to meet my man, can't I?" She was saying sweet words now. Then, she intentionally put on an expressionless face. "I heard that you've not been eating nor sleeping well. Without my care, have you started going wild?”Simon shifted his gaze back to the computer. "Did Penelope tell you about it?"She wanted to move the computer aside. "You don't have to know who told me about it. Come on, drink this soup first." She picked up the bowl of chicken noodle soup and placed it in front of him.He glanced at her and said carefreely, "Are you trying to force me again?"Sharon took a deep breath. "You're free to take it that way. Yeah, I'm forcing y
